@clearsunnysky Depends on the strength of the trend in the﻿ synthetic pair (created by the arb) if the spread is moving up strongly and you entered at -2 why not ride it out to +2. If the spread is stationary it’s probably better to exit at the mean. There is a scenario called stochastic resonance where the spread will oscillate around the mean in a tight band when reversion takes place. So on that basis exit at mean reversion makes sense on a general basis.

If you buy eur/usd and sell gbp/usd, then your position is simply long eur/gbp. Volatility in eur/gbp can sometimes exceed that of gbp/usd …﻿ how is taking an outright position in eur/gbp somehow less risky than taking an outright position in gbp/usd?

Hi, the current arbitrage engine exits﻿ under the following conditions:-
1) If overall arb position is profitable and spread mean reversion is complete ie spread has recoupled with it’s 20 day MA.
2) Position has reached maximum allowable loss described as a % of equity

You could extend your profits by letting the spread move further over the spread MA – it’s called ‘resonance’ – typically the spread will oscillate around the mean once it returns thereby allowing you to push more profit

Hi there, I’m trying stat arb with a manual calculation on excell currently and wanted to know when you typically exit﻿ your trades – if you get in at -2 e.g. would you exit at the mean or continue until SD hits +1 or +2?
